The happiest people in the world are those who know and understand their hearts and the most confused, fearful, and sad are those who do not. I stand for freedom, truth and love, and I think while many may say they do, I don’t see people living it. We complain, criticise, and put our brothers and sisters down far too often because we don’t love ourselves, because we aren’t in touch with our hearts. By practicing love for ourselves we can put an end to this because when you love yourself there is no need to cut another down to level things back out. If we understand our divine nature as a unique and deserving part of this miraculous creation, just like everyone and everything else, we go about life with a sense of peace, understanding and ease. This is our birthright and this is what our children can be taught to tap into and utilize for the rest of their life, making success and happiness something that is naturally found within. Rather than seeking a good education, a good job, getting money and possessions, these things will happen completely naturally and organically because they know who they are, why they came here, and what to do. They will know their hearts desires, and when you follow your heart, you cannot go wrong.

Freedom to me means to be able to be who you are without fear, and without pain, but in grade school and highschool children begin to “make fun” of others, sometimes causing their True Self to be shrouded by the pain and fear which becomes linked to being who they are. Every parent and every person who has ever met a young child understands how beautiful and free they are in their ability to express themselves, to play and to imagine. If children were taught meditation from an early age they would continue to be strong in who they are throughout their teens and beyond. The fear of being their True Self would not be compromised by the overdevelopment of a fearful and protective ego-identity. The identity develops in their teenage years and if there isn’t a counterbalance, there can be a oversensitivity to fears and pain that can limit the young being’s creativity and self-expression. With regular meditation a child would be able to tap into their heart with absolute certainty and utilize the wisdom and creativity that goes along with being peaceful and confident in knowing who you are and what you want in life, free from fear, or at least courageous enough to pursue any endeavour that inspires joy, excitement and bliss, regardless of any fear.

Sarah wood at www.sarahwood.com has written a book on child meditation and explains that when we practice a process in our minds we are able to repeat this process in the real world. This is demonstrated in physical and aerobic workouts and yoga. At a gym we practice lifting weights so we can use those muscles in real life. We also love to look good for each other don’t we? Likewise, in yoga we learn how to come into different asana/pose by reaching and stretching into our tension with the breath. We become more flexible in each moment using the power of our breath. And when we are in the moment, we are in touch with our inner guidance system, our intuition…our heart. Once we can be fully in the moment there is peace, trust and sense of knowingness. Everyone has access to this state of being, and considering it’s free, it is very wise to set aside at least 15 minutes a day to practice something that will benefit every single other area of your life.

Following your bliss is important because the vibration itself, the feeling itself, the sensation itself in your body, that you call excitement, bliss and passion is the physical body’s translation of the frequency of our True/Essential/Natural self. Our core essential natural self is the expanded part of us that we chose to be separated from through the process of being socialized, cultured, and civilized. It is the wise, loving, creative, joyful, fearless part of us that contains all our life experiences and all potential to become anything we desire. In the first phase of our life we experience the pain of disconnection, the dissatisfaction of believing illusion as truth, time and time again, until we finally had/have enough and seek the truth and reveal the false reality for its actual purpose: a canvas to paint a beautiful sunset on, a contrast to impose a work of art upon. As we emerge from the darkness of fear, doubt and illusion, into the Truth, our Expanded Self leads us, sometimes ever so gently and gracefully, other times ever so painfully and clumsily, towards experiences that feel better, that are more fulfilling and resonate our entire being with Truth. When you know it, you KNOW it. And if you don’t, then you haven’t felt it yet, but you will soon!

So, any experience that inspires the energy of passion, excitement, and bliss in us is marking that situation, that expression, at that moment, as being most harmoniously aligned with our Core, True, Natural being. And the willingness to act on it completes the circuit from Heaven to Earth. It grounds the circuit and allows for the manifestation of anything that resonates with that vibration in your reality that is capable of being manifested. It may be a poem, a song, an idea, a speech, a dance, an expression of love, a communication, or any other possible action you can dream up. But the point is that we have just served our highest purpose for existing in this life, in this physical realm, in that moment. You see, we humans, in our current and evolving perspectives, in these bodies, are the bridges that connect the physical with the non-physical. We are the conscious links between the manifest and the unmanifest. Our window of communication is the mind, and to communicate with the higher realms where all original creative expression comes from you must discover what brings you joy, passion and excitement, however you do this does not matter. But when you do you will experience a sense of freedom, happiness and satisfaction that you never knew was possible.
Every day, little by little, we peel back the veil, we look through the illusions, we confront our fears, deny our doubts, and clarify our confusions. We go deeper, we receive more information and more inspiration that guides us towards ways to experience this state of excitement, joy, and bliss more frequently. This is the state we came here to experience in its fullness. The rest is all distraction from this true goal. And when we take action that is aligned with the dreams of the Cosmos the whole Universe glows a little brighter because we have touched upon our potential as the conductors, the connectors between Heaven and Earth, between God and the Infinite timeless creative energy that everything comes from and returns to.

How do we go about finding our bliss?

* Sit and breathe.
* Meditate.
* This course can really help you find your passion and bliss.
* Purify your mind.
* Ask for Guidance, watch for the signs, and trust them.
* Take risks, and forget about failure cause if you try you will learn something which means you didn’t fail. Failing is being paralyzed by fear, but eventually, somehow, someday, you will be motivated to try again. So really, in the long-term, you cannot fail. The universe is designed to progress and succeed and you are part of it, so you will progress and you will succeed.
* Give up trying to look good for others and the world and just be who you are, love who you are and whatever that is. You are a beautiful piece of a brilliant puzzle that needs you to be the exact shape, colour and size you are for the whole thing to make sense and fit together.
* Choose actions that inspire a feeling of excitement in your body. You may never know until you step fully into the experience. The bliss may even, and probably is, shrouded by a cloak of fear from the outside, but you are infinite, so you can rest assured that walking through the cloud of fear will surely bring you a feeling of empowerment, excitement and joy, after maybe a couple of moments of discomfort. Learn to see your fears not as an aversion or something to be avoided, but something to welcome and to look straight at with hungry eyes. Courage is acting while the fear, the discomfort and the tension is fully alive in your mind and it’s begging you to back down. It is an illusion. Part of the game. Part of what makes it interesting. So enjoy yourself. Enjoy the fear, enjoy the bliss, it’s all a fun game of forgetting and remembering.

May you emerge into the fullness of your True Divine self and experience the pure energy we call “bliss,”

Again, I really recommend at least trying this course. It can really help you find your passion and manifest a life of pure blissed out creation.

Clear inner vision is critical if we are to achieve peace and prosperity. By developing a focused awareness of our inner state, particularly the relationhip between our thoughts and our feelings, we shine light on a view of reality that resists the flow of peace and prosperity into our life. By learning to observe not just how we are feeling but what we are thinking about how we are feeling, we can begin to see that how we feel in any moment is a choice, if we can see each defective program running on autopilit and then stopping them. This is most difficult at first, but with time, and practice we can achieve complete control over our emotional state, regardless of what circumstances arise.

If ever we feel victimized and feelings of powerlessness, blame, or shame arise, we can observe this undesirable state and shift our focus to what we want (happiness, satisfaction, joy, excitement), rather than what we don’t want (shame, guilt, fear, doubt). Even if you aren’t sure why certain unwanted experiences keep happening, if you are suffering at all, you know somewhere a limiting program is running in your mind that is distorting your perception. in short, a lie is being told, and that lie is holding your dreams outside your experience of life.

When we can feel good about things we don’t like, this is the first step to getting what we want. One way to do this is to feel gratitude because each negative experience holds the seed of what we DO want within it. The next step is focusing as much energy and attention to what you truly want and never ever ever giving up! You can and will have the life of your dreams. And even if right now all you want is to feel better, develop more self love, compassion, acceptance, peace….and maybe a new car and the partner of your dreams. All this and more is possible and I will totally show you how to do that.

I credit meditation to being the most significant transformative agent in my life. When I started meditating, I was lead to incredible awakenings that drugs and alcohol pale in comparison to. I found a new purpose. I found the strength, focus, guidance, motivation and determination to pursue my new dreams. This all began only 6 years ago while I was in my first year of University for nursing. At the time I was just using basic meditation (focusing on the breath), and I still do sometimes. But these days I prefer the turbo charge method. There are several amazing programs that combine the brilliance of meditation with new brainwave technologies and actually induce meditative states in order to access the subconscious more directly. This is similar to removing viruses and installing programs that you enjoy using on your computer. In my opinion, it’s the fastest and most effective way to becoming a successful, happy, confident, and peaceful person who knows their purpose and gets what they want. This is a very effective program that is only a $1.00 to try out and you get to keep the program materials even if you don’t want to continue on with the actual program. It’s called Meditation Manifestation and it can change your life in a very meaningful and profound way. May you achieve the life of your dreams and experience happiness, success, joy and wealth.

Judgements happen almost instantaneously, and often this perspective can parade as the only correct view, when there are always different ways of seeing things and perceiving external events. Almost every time something occurs in our experience that elicits an emotional response we judge it as good or bad; a car cuts you off, a child starts crying, the rain begins to fall, a passerby bumps into you and doesn’t say anything, or a bill is found in the mailbox. These particular events mostly bring up negative emotions, and although our judgement of the event is true to itself, it is often based on a past experience and when we identify the current event with a similar one from the past we are not seeing things clearly as a result.
Why? because it is actually a brand new experience and the recurring quality is often the only part noticed because it is a result of thoughts that keep thinking you, rather than you being the chooser of your thoughts, and therefore your experience. If you could, and believed you could, I am fairly certain you would choose thoughts that feel good and bring you closer to what you truly want, but unless you are keenly aware of your inner state and your emotional reactions and projections, these problems are bound to persist, because you can’t change and won’t change something unless you can do three things.

1. see it.
2. identify it as unwanted
3. believe that it can be changed.

Soon I’ll show you how to develop a skill to notice and watch this phenomenon happening with incredible clarity. For now I’ll try to illustrate how this interesting unconscious trap works.

Let’s take the example of a bill coming in the mail, and slow … it … right…down…almost to a halt. Think of the the sensory data as streams of energy arriving to your senses as different vibrations being interpreted and translated into your experience of it. They travel into your mind and light up your awareness and BANG! reality exists right before you…isn’t that miraculous in and of itself!? cause it blows my mind. Anyways, back to the “nasty” bill. Just as you are beginning to grab the mail and even moments before let’s take a snapshot ofa possible and probable inner state for most of us.

The experience begins with an impulse to get the mail.

“was that the mail man?….I’ll go check.”

Now, as you decide to go get the mail a whole slew of thoughts could be running through the mind about what could be waiting. You consider a bill could be in the mix, which is essentially a request for money from a company or institution providing a service or product, but this is not often the simplistic view. These infamous envelopes turn into something different than what is objectively true, and our story can often cause tension to arise in us and energy to be unconsciously focused on that which we do not want in our lives.

What we want to stop are the unwanted experiences and we can start by noticing that all the related emotional tension we feel is not part of the sensory experience of holding a piece of mail, it is a direct product of the judgment about what that mail means. I know it doesn’t change the fact that the bill is draining your account, but to get anywhere we have to start by seeing that our judgements are malleable and not always fact. We can choose a judgement that serves us, our environment, our loved ones, and other humans in a way that stops the unwanted experiences from persisting.

But where do all these judgements come from?

They are stories. Often ancient, and handed down by our family or society.

We live in a story factory, and the question is where do they come from and how are we perceiving the stories? And…what is our experience of them? Sometimes they are pleasurable, other times they are painful. We feel pleasure when a good story is told about an experience and we feel pain when a bad story turns up. All pain and suffering is rooted in illusion. And when I say illusion, I mean a mistaken perception about reality causing suffering; a lie; a sin. By the way, ‘to sin’ just means to ‘miss a shot,’ or to ‘miss the mark.’ It has no implied meaning of wrongness. This is just another mistaken judgment about karma and existence.

So, an illusion is a lie, and the bigger the lie being told, the worse we feel. For example, “I am alone, I hate my life, nobody loves me, and I dont want to exist,” is very very far from the truth, and you know this because you can imagine the feelings that would be caused by these thoughts. If you have even been there, you know how dark it can be, and this is the consequence of the belief in lies. Lies effect suffering while the truth feels brilliant.

With that in mind, try out this next story out compared to the miserable tale above.

“I am one with all creation, life is incredible, I am deeply loved by many, and existence is infinite, I can not die, I am part of all that is and I have and will exist forever in some way or another.” You can see how the vibrational tone of stories can change dramatically and how we feel determines how close we are to perceiving the truth about something. Once you get the hang of re-tellng stories, you can really have fun and try out different ways of playing with it.

Let’s go back to the bill and try out this new approach.

One story I personally used to frequently tell about receiving a bill is, “Shit, these guys are crooks and they just want to take my money, I hate it!” But a story I’ve learned to tell that is closer to the truth and consequently feels much better is, “This company is providing me with a very useful service that I really appreciate having, and it really improves the quality of my life. I know a portion of my money will go to other people who are also trying their best at life, just like me, and I’m happy to move the flow of value in and through the economic system that we collectively create. I understand that the more I am willing to flow out, the more I am willing to receive in. This is how nature functions and it feels good to contribute to human progress.”

You can go on and on, do it as much as you want, and for as long as you want. The better the story feels the closer you are to the truth and aligned with what your life has caused you to desire. If you are feeling bad, you are stuck in an illusion that is probably not even your story. So ditch it! Make something else up that feels better. As you change your stories about your body, your money, your relationships and your life, you change your experience. And if you tell a story long enough and with sufficient focus, your behavior changes, and when your behaviour changes, your actions change, and eventually, your life will become a living example of the truth of who you are because you made a decision to feel better by telling a story that reflects the truth rather than affirming something exists that doesn’t and is causing you suffering as a result. Soon enough, telling good feeling stories will become a habit and you can look forward to challenges and things like getting bills because not only does it mean you get to feel and express appreciation in the form of money, but you know that as you flow money out you open up space for more to come in. Telling new stories is one way to live the life of our dreams. To get there quicker we can develop the ability to see our inner state clearer and slow down the reactive programs that are constantly arising in response to sensory stimulation.
